Drought effects on water relation and growth performance of rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) / Che Ku Hasidayati Che Ku Mohd Salleh by Che Ku Mohd Salleh, Che Ku Hasidayati

“…Although water is the most abundant molecule on the earth's surface, the availability of water is the factor that most strongly restricts terrestrial plant production on a global scale. Low water availability limits the productivity of many natural ecosystems, particularly in dry climates. …”

Baptism by fire: the pivotal role of ancient conflagrations in evolution of the Earth's flora by He, Tianhua, Lamont, Byron

“…However, there remains a general lack of appreciation of the place of fire in the origin, evolution, ecology and conservation of the Earth’s biodiversity.We review the literature on the presence of fire throughout the Earth’s history following the evolution of land plants and examine the evidence for the origin and evolution of adaptive functional traits, biomes and major plant groups in relation to fire.We show that: (1) fire activities have fluctuated throughout geological time due to variations in climate, and more importantly in atmospheric oxygen, as these affected fuel levels and flammability; (2) fire promoted the early evolution and spread of major terrestrial plant groups; (3) fire has shaped the floristics, structure and function of major global biomes; and (4) fire has initiated and maintained the evolution of a wide array of fire-adapted functional traits since the evolution of land plants.We conclude that fire has been a fundamental agent of natural selection on terrestrial plants throughout the history of life on the Earth’s land surface. …”

Historical changes in organic matter input to the muddy sediments along the Zhejiang-Fujian Coast, China over the past 160 years by Chen, L., Liu, Jian, Xing, L., Krauss, K., Wang, J., Xu, G., Li, L.

“…Results indicated that the effects of diagenesis and diffusion on different sedimentary biomarkers resulted in overestimation of the relative contribution of terrestrial organic matter (%OMterr), compared with those based on d13CTOC. The amount of terrestrial plant organic matter (OMplant) and %OMterr in sediments decreased offshore. …”

Assessment of bacterial community patterns from ecologically distinct Antarctic soil environments / Chun Wie Chong by Chong, Chun Wie

“…These functional roles of bacteria are especially important in the extreme and harsh environments of Antarctica where the terrestrial trophic interactions are generally limited to microorganisms due to restricted development of terrestrial plant and animal communities. In order to assess the spatial distribution and taxonomic composition of soil bacterial community in Antarctica, soils were collected from a range of geographically and environmentally distinct locations. …”

Stable hydrogen isotope ratios of individual hydrocarbons in sediments and petroleum by Dawson, Daniel

“…For example, a saw-toothed profile of n-alkane δD values in Australian torbanites is attributed to a dual-source system: a predominant B. braunii input, with a minor terrestrial plant input to odd-carbon-numbered n-alkanes in the range n-C20 [subscript] to n-C29 [subscript]. …”
